Which reminds me, back in August I investigated then-current wip/s:
http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2016-August/026859.html

Two branches (only in qtbase) are done with and can be killed:
wip/qstring-utf8
wip/lite

One branch is dead but should perhaps be archived (i.e. moved to an
out-of-sight namespace): wip/tizen (qtdeclarative, qtsensors,
qtquickcontrols, qtbase).

I also observe wip/qtquickintergration in qt3d, which is clearly a typo
for wip/qtquickintegration (which contains every commit of the typo-ed
version).

Ossi, would you take care of those ?


Here's the list of all (other) currently live wip/s (in which modules)

  wip/visuallistmodel (qtdeclarative) 2011/Jun, Andrew den Exter <andrew.den-exter at nokia.com>

and I am naturally suspicious of those whose last commit is from an
e-mail @nokia, all from 2011; these sound suspiciously dead.
Please review those you know anything about ... especially the old ones.
